Adam and the cult of Wikipedia

December 02, 2005 · 0 comments

If you are a listener to Adam Curry’s Daily Source Code podcast or one of the Wikipedia groupies (no offense to real users), you have heard about the controversy surrounding Adam Curry altering the history of podcasting.

It has since reverberated around the Internet on blogs and podcasts.

Is he evil, stupid or just a guy who made a mistake?

Having listened to the Daily Source Code since it started, and used the first versions of Adam Curry’s iPodder to get my podcasts, I know it is the latter.

But what confounds me is this.

If the all powerful wikipedia protectors can’t handle this in a civilized manner, Wikipedia isn’t anything more than the bulletin board down at the local coffee shop. Where every moron sticks up his flyers, business cards or lewd invitations.

After all aren’t wikis supposed to handle revisions and editing?

You know, allow rollbacks and merging of versions?

To all those trolls and griefers whom are posting rude comments about this. Get a life! Adam Curry has every right to edit the Podcasting entry, as does EVERYONE who visits Wikipedia.

Its a Wiki!
